MADISON, Wi. — Local businesses came together to have fun and help their neighbors at The Bur Oak today.
State Line Distillery, The Bur Oak, and Young Blood Beer Company hosted the 2022 ‘Bur-Oaktoberfest’ during Sunday’s Packers game, raising money for Breast Cancer Recovery, Inc. in Fitchburg.
Oktoberfest-themed games such as the pretzel toss ruled the day while the Packers game played in the background. During commercial breaks, they held meat raffles.
“We’re looking to raise about $1,000 for Breast Cancer Recovery Inc. today,” said Del Lorenson, a Field Sales Rep for State Line Distillery.
During Breast Cancer Awareness Month, their charity of choice was a no-brainer.
“You have the physical side of it, but the mental-emotional side of it, it’s a taxing, waring situation to go through, and what Breast Cancer Recovery, Inc. does is offer those group-therapy sessions and wellness clinics, as well as all sorts of support so that people going through it on the physical side are also getting help on the emotional side,” Lorenson said.
Despite the Packers’ loss, the event was a hit.
“Everything we do starts with community, so we’re working with local farmers directly sourcing our grains, we’re selling only within the state lines of Wisconsin to local customers, as a person who’s born and raised in Wisconsin working for a hyper-local company, there’s few things that matter more than supporting your neighbors,” said Lorenson.
